A crane load test was carried out on the A and B outdoor gantry extensions prior to handover for our friends at FP McCann, Byley. The completed extensions allow the client to move finished products directly into the storage area without the need for trailers.
Each of the four cranes was load tested using specific weights corresponding to its individual Safe Working Load (SWL). The cranes were: 1x25T, 1x16T, 1x15T, and 1x10T.
During testing, all deflections of the crane bridge beams and gantry steelwork were measured and confirmed to be within the regulated tolerances.
The gantry extensions intersect with the existing Goliath crane pathway. To ensure safe operation and prevent any possibility of collision with the current Goliath cranes, the new installation has been fitted with multiple electronic limit switches and distance sensors.
